Looking for a precision lathe help in GTA (Greater Toronto Area)

I am looking to meat in Greater Toronto Area, but prefer North of 407. I am @ L4G7X4.
I have a design for couple high-precision parts (really small can hold with two fingers). I need prototype tools for (airgun) pellets testing.
I have several generic machine shops around me, but until I explain ... airgun knowledge would be better for improvising dimensions.
Please pm/email me.
 
just my opinion, but it if you are farming the work out, it doesn't matter whether its to a commercial or home shop, you'll be so much further ahead with properly done drawings with dimensions and tolerances. Maybe you are more in the experimental stage.....that is a great excuse to start looking for a lathe :)

I decided not getting a brand new benchtop lathe but fishing from a second hand. I have a SLA 3d printer for most of my parts but this one needs a lathe.
Not looking to commercialize my parts, but for sure there is an open market segment for it.
This is a sample drw for 1+1 parts I would need.

Edit: I got a first pm and looks like we can start chewing the project.
